Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven D. LevittMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A top notch book, with some very interesting case studies about people from distinct walks of life.
The ones I liked the most were :
1) decrease in crime rate after 1990's (the highlight of the book)
2) the bagel seller's experiences.
3) The political candidate riding on the back of huge funds tends to win more.
Apart from these the theories regarding sumo wrestlers and how black people assign names to their children seemed somewhat far fetched but were still given with some interesting backup data.
